Bovine Company, a wholesale distributor of DVDs, has been experiencing losses for some time, as shown by its most recent monthly

contribution format income statement below:
Sales $1,500,000 Variable expenses 588,000 Contribution margin 912,000 Fixed expenses 945,000 Net operating loss $ (33,000)
In an effort to isolate the problem, the president has asked for an income statement segmented by geographic market. Accordingly, the Accounting Department has developed the following data:
Geographic Market South Central North Sales $400,000 $600,000 $500,000 Variable expenses as a percentage of sales 52% 30% 40% Traceable fixed expenses $240,000 $330,000 $200,000
Required: i. Prepare a contribution format income statement segmented by geographic market, as desired by the president. ii. The company’s sales manager believes that sales in the Central geographic market could be increased by 15% if monthly advertising were increased by $25,000. Would you recommend the increased advertising? Show computations to support your answer.

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

$3,000 and $35,000

Explanation:

The computations are shown below:

The depreciation expense would be

=(Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

= ($50,000 - $5,000) ÷ (15 years)

= ($45,000) ÷ (15 years)  

= $3,000

In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life

The book value would be

= (Original cost of equipment) - (depreciation × number of years)

= ($50,000) - ($3,000 × 5 years)

= $50,000 - $15,000

= $35,000

Degregorio Corporation makes a product that uses a material with the following direct material standards: Standard quantity 2.5
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Materials quantity variance = $1,750(U)

Explanation:

Standard quantity(SQ) = $2.5 * 6600 = 16500 Kg

Standard Price( SP) = $5  

Actual quantity(AQ) = 16,850 Kg  

Actual Price( AP) = $90,720 / 18,900 kg = $4.8

Materials quantity variance = SP * (SQ - AQ)  

Materials quantity variance = 5 * ( 16500 - 16,850 )

Materials quantity variance = 5 * (350)

Materials quantity variance = $1,750(U)

RSB [31]

Answer:

(1) Straight-line.

Year 1 depreciation expense = $6,500

Year 2 depreciation expense = $6,500

(2) Double-declining-balance.

Year 1 depreciation expense = $16,000

Year 2 depreciation expense = $8,000

(3) Activity-based.

Year 1 depreciation expense = $7,000

Year 1 depreciation expense = $7,600

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Speedy Delivery Company purchases a delivery van for $32,000. Speedy estimates that at the end of its four-year service life, the van will be worth $6,000. During the four-year period, the company expects to drive the van 130,000 miles. Actual miles driven each year were 35,000 miles in year 1 and 38,000 miles in year 2.

Required:

Calculate annual depreciation for the first two years of the van using each of the following methods.

(1) Straight-line.

(2) Double-declining-balance.

(3) Activity-based.

The explanation of the answers is now given as follows:

(1) Straight-line.

Depreciable amount = Cost of the delivery van – Salvage value = $32,000 - $6,000 = $26,000

Annual depreciation rate = 1 / Number of useful years = 1 / 4 = 0.25, or 25%

Year 1 depreciation expense = Depreciable amount * Annual depreciation rate = $26,000 * 25% = $6,500

Year 2 depreciation expense = Depreciable amount * Annual depreciation rate = $26,000 * 25% = $6,500

(2) Double-declining-balance.

Note: The salvage value is taken care of in the computation of the depreciation expense for the last useful year under the double-declining-balance method.

Therefore, we have:

Cost of the delivery van = $32,000

Annual depreciation rate = Straight line annual depreciation rate * 2 = 25% * 2 = 50%

Year 1 depreciation expense = Cost of the delivery van * Annual depreciation rate = $32,000 * 50% = $16,000

Book value at the end of year 1 = Cost of the delivery van - Year 1 depreciation expense = $36,000 - $16,000 = $16,000

Year 2 depreciation expense = Book value at the end of year 1 * Annual depreciation rate = $16,000 * 50% = $8,000

(3) Activity-based.

Depreciable amount = Cost of the delivery van – Salvage value = $32,000 - $6,000 = $26,000

Depreciation rate = Actual miles driven each year / Expected driven miles for four years ……….. (1)

Depreciation expense for each year = Depreciable amount * Depreciation rate …………… (2)

Using equations (2), we have:

Year 1 depreciation expense = $26,000 * (35,000 / 130,000) = $7,000

Year 1 depreciation expense = $26,000 * (38,000 / 130,000) = $7,600
